A system and method for providing fertilizer for crop production in an aqueous solution comprising nano-sized fertilizer particles, which are free of any chemical side chain and free any micelle to protect the nano-sized particle from re-agglomeration, suspended therein for improved uptake by the population of the crop.

A foliar product for use in agriculture and horticulture comprising heterocyclic nitrogen source, chelating agent and metal salts. The heterocyclic nitrogen source is Hexamine. The chelating agent is disodium salt of Hydroxy Ethylidene Di Phosphonic Acid (Na2HEDP). The metal salts are chelated using the chelating agent Na2HEDP. The foliar product provides complete raw material requirement, which enables plants to synthesize various products. Further, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing the foliar product. Advantageously, the present invention eliminates undesirable side effects in plants and helps plants survive environmental or biological stress conditions.

There is disclosed a dry fertilizer comprising citric acid and potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate. The dry fertilizer may be one of a tablet, powder, meal and pellet. The dry fertilizer may include one of plant nutrients, soil nutrients, carbonates, bicarbonates, acids, oils, microorganisms, biostimulants, enzymes, hormones, fertilizers, lubricants, and binding agents. The dry fertilizer may be packaged.

Calcium silicate hydrate nanoparticles are combined with ammonia control materials (e.g. alum, aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, ferric sulfate, and/or sodium bisulfate) to create a phosphorus-binding composition. In the preferred embodiment, the composition is applied to poultry litter, poultry bedding or other non-aqueous substrates that are at least partially comprised of animal manure. The composition binds with phosphorus to at least reduce the amount of phosphorus in runoff water or in leachate from fields fertilized with treated manure. The combining of the calcium silicate hydrate nanoparticles with the ammonia control products has a surprising and unexpected result. The calcium silicate hydrate-ammonia control material mix reduces soluble phosphorus more than either component of the mix alone.

An anticaking agent having a coating and a mineral matrix of a coarse mineral and a fine mineral is described. A method of making the anticaking agent is disclosed, as well as a method of applying the anticaking agent to a hygroscopic fertilizer to reduce caking in high temperature and high humidity environments. The coarse mineral may be a diatomaceous earth.
